MUMGOS DEBUT (NAP) has delivered stylish performances when scoring at Hexham and Bangor this month and is hard to oppose in search of a rapid hat-trick. He won with any amount in hand at Bangor and looks well worth staying with in his current vein of form under Grant Cockburn - the extra quarter mile should not prove an inconvenience. Grove Silver has placed in seven of 11 chase starts and deserves reward for his consistency. He needed the run last time and should be in the mix off a decent mark under his regular pilot. Shouldavboughtgold is worth a market check as he was interesting at times before his lengthy absence and Lord Landen is not ruled out off bottom weight either.
